Chapter 541: Humbly Ask for Advice
Meng Shaoyuan looked at these two dishes with trepidation.
Not to mention, Manager Ge really made up the "herring bald lung" and "paper-wrapped fried chicken".
Chen Yinge took a bite of "herring bald lung", frowned, looked at the "paper-wrapped fried chicken", the chopsticks didn't move at all, but stretched out to the side of the plate of green vegetable lard residue, and took a bite:
"The frosted greens are particularly sweet."
Sensei said, must you be dissatisfied?
"Professor Chen." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "The two dishes you said are now lost, and the chef in this restaurant really doesn't know how to cook them, you can take care of them, I said that it was a real bragging." ”
Chen Yinge smiled indifferently: "Yes, many of the things of the ancestors have been lost. If it's lost, it's lost. Some of us are always thinking about recovering these lost things, but if they are really restored, is it still the same smell? ”
Huh, it seems that there is something in the words?
"There's so much to lose." Chen Yinge put down his chopsticks and took a sip of tea: "Many of our lost ones have been carried forward in Japan. For example, kneeling and sitting used to be our orthodox sitting posture, otherwise it would be rude. But then we invented a chair and other high-legged seats, and kneeling and sitting gradually disappeared. But when it came to Japan, it became a symbol of their traditional culture.
Another example is sashimi, sashimi. During the Han and Tang dynasties, yusheng was the most popular in China, and the original meaning of the popular idiom was that everyone loved to eat yusheng and barbecue. Li Bai has a poem, 'Hu'er brushes a few frost blades, and the red muscle flowers fall on the white snow'. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the custom of eating yusheng began to decline in China, why? Most of our Chinese freshwater fish have parasites in them, and Chen Deng in the Three Kingdoms period died because he loved to eat sashimi and grew parasites.
What about Japan? It has also been learned in its original form, and it is prevalent throughout the country. And I learned it thoroughly, not only learned to cut it thinly and dip it in mustard, but also completely retained the ancient Chinese style in many details.
In Japanese cuisine, sashimi is served on perilla leaves and served with shredded white radish, which is actually the Chinese yusheng culture, because according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, perilla decomposes the poison of fish and crabs, and white radish has the purpose of eliminating food and accumulating......"
Meng Shaoyuan listened with relish.
He knows a lot of this, but things like "Hu'er flicks a few frost blades, and the red muscle flowers fall into the white snow" is really not clear.
Look at Professor Chen, who speaks freely and eloquently, it is better than a leisurely stroll, but it makes you listen to it unconsciously, this is really a level.
Chen Yinge has not chatted with people so happily for a long time, and when it comes to Xingtou, especially when it comes to Japanese culture, he will also include a few local Japanese sayings from time to time.
Later, he sighed deeply:
"Why? Because we felt that those cultures were backward and no longer suitable for the development of the times, we categorically abandoned them. That's progress. Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, left behind the attitude of the kingdom, and learned from his enemies, those uncivilized Hu people, Zhao became a strong country, which is also progress. Throughout the development of China, there was a lot of courage to abandon the law of the ancestors.
But there are some things that cannot be lost, and that is the word integrity. The Japanese learned from me Chinese kneeling, yusheng, and matcha, which are not worth mentioning, but they have also learned the essence of our Chinese culture. In order to make Japan a powerful country, ordinary people did not hesitate to starve, smash pots and sell iron ......"
Meng Shaoyuan nodded frequently.
Putting aside the grievances between China and Japan, the unity of the whole country is very important on the road to becoming a great power in Japan, but during this period, China lagged far behind.
Especially in terms of "integrity", there are many traitors in China......
When Chen Yinge said this, he suddenly felt strange: "Hey, can you understand all the Japanese I just said?" ”
"I understand." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly replied: "I hired a Japanese teacher to teach me Japanese, and I still learned Kyoto dialect. ”
"Oh?" Chen Yinge quickly changed to pure Japanese: "You still learn Kyoto dialect?" ”
"Yes, my teacher also talked to me about the tone of the people in Kyoto, such as arrogance...... etc.," Meng Shaoyuan replied fluently in Japanese.
Chen Yinge suddenly laughed: "That teacher of yours probably learned Kyoto's rural dialect, right?" ”
This one......
Yuri Yamashita is a serious Japanese, and when teaching these Kyoto dialects, she carefully explained the key points of them.
Meng Shaoyuan also relied on his Kyoto-accented Japanese to repeatedly save the day.
"Speaking of which, it is nothing more than the arrogance of the people of Kyoto, and the people of other places are regarded as countrymen, and there is naturally some pride in the tone, but that is just the skin, not the essence of the Kyoto dialect." Chen Yinge disdainfully said in his tone: "The real Kyoto aristocratic tone is far from being so superficial, and the knowledge in it is too big." ”
That's right.
You are in Hong Kong, and your authentic Kyoto dialect with an aristocratic accent makes the Japanese officers think that they have offended some big man in Japan, and they run away.
Although Yuria Yamashita is Japanese, she is not a so-called Japanese nobleman after all, and her knowledge of aristocratic culture is limited.
"You're a spy." Chen Yinge said unceremoniously: "Learning Kyoto dialect may be of great use to you in the future." Come on, I'm destitute, I'm entertained by you, I'm always embarrassed to think about it, so I'll take a few days to talk to you about the Japanese aristocratic culture, talk about the privileges that the Japanese aristocracy doesn't know, and then correct your so-called Kyoto accent. ”
Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed.
Chen Yinge was born in a Chinese official family, his grandfather was a feudal official, and his father Chen Sanli was friendly with Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangjiang, which was a real family, which was the most popular group of international students in Japan at that time.
The Japanese even take pride in marrying their daughters to these people, and there have been cases of women marrying Chinese even if they go on a hunger strike to achieve their goals.
Chen Yinge's interactions in Japan are all upper-class people, so he can't understand it better.
With his guidance, when dealing with the Japanese in the future, he will be more comfortable and pretend to be those Japanese nobles, and he will be more handy, and he can completely avoid the dangerous situation of revealing his stuff once he encounters a real Japanese nobleman.
Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully:
"Teacher!"
……
For three days, Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be missing.
The evacuation of scholars in the cultural circle all fell on Wu Jingyi.
This Young Master Meng didn't know what to do.
Wu Jingyi is also helpless.
When she came to work early in the morning, Wu Jingyi was taken aback.
As soon as I entered the office, I saw a Japanese man standing there openly.
Why do you recognize this as a Japanese person at a glance?
It's so simple, he's wearing Japanese clothes, huh?
It's not like a kimono, but he wears a black curved hat, which is weird.
"Assistant Wu, you're late."
As soon as this "Japanese" spoke, Wu Jingyi found out that this was Meng Shaoyuan, Young Master Meng!
"You...... What kind of fuss are you doing? Wu Jingyi was dumbfounded: "What are you wearing?" ”
"It's called Winter Clothes." Meng Shaoyuan was triumphant: "The hat is called a peace-style black hat, and the clothes are called clothes." This fan in your hand is a must...... Hey, don't you think I look like a Japanese official? ”
"I don't know what about Japan's officials." Wu Jingyi said slowly: "I think you look like a funeral person." ”
No way!
People worked hard to study hard with Chen Yinge for three days, eating and living in the room, and Chen Yinge told him all the culture he knew without reservation.
Even the Japanese language with the Kyoto accent has been greatly corrected, and it is no longer only arrogant and rude.
It's good for you to say that I'm like a funeral?
However, Meng Shaoyuan also believes that with these three days of intensive training, he will be more carefree when dealing with the Japanese in the future.
There is no need to pretend to be a Japanese nobleman, but there is no way to do anything about them.
Wearing clothes, it was too troublesome to smoke a cigarette, Meng Shaoyuan finally lit a cigarette: "How many have you evacuated?" ”
Finally thought to ask about it? Wu Jingyi gave him a blank look: "Two batches have been evacuated, and the Japanese are very strict about the ships leaving Shanghai for Wuhan, and it takes some troubles. ”
"Don't let anything happen." Meng Shaoyuan repeatedly advised: "These literary and artistic circles, don't look at them can't lift guns or throw grenades, but the pens in their hands are sometimes better than thousands of troops." ”
"I know." Wu Jingyi nodded and said, "So, although we are short of manpower, I still transferred the agents as much as possible and escorted them all the way to Wuhan." After arriving in Wuhan, our comrades there will personally take care of it. But ......"
Wu Jingyi hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I was personally responsible for the first batch, and it can be seen that some of them are still somewhat reluctant to deal with us when they hear that we are spies." ”
"The title of spy is basically stinky in China." Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "We people are only responsible for the work against the enemy, what kind of ideology and doctrine do they have, and what does it have to do with us?" ”
"Director Meng, your idea is very dangerous." Wu Jingyi specially reminded: "For those who enter our military command, the political ideology class is the first to be taken, don't forget that the above has specially explained ......"
"Forget it." Meng Shaoyuan interrupted her: "We are all our own people, don't say those words in the officialdom." It's too late for me to deal with the Japanese and kill traitors, so how can I care about anything else? Don't say this, don't say this. ”
Cheered up: "Assistant Wu, help me see if there is a boat to Hong Kong, I want to send a big man over, this is what Mr. Dai specially asked me to take care of." ”
"Okay."
"That's right." Meng Shaoyuan seemed to remember something: "If you want to bring something to Hong Kong to your husband, you can also ask him to send it over, but you can only let your husband get it, but you can't let someone send it to your husband." ”
What kind of big man is this worthy of Director Meng?
Wu Jingyi was a little confused.
